Legion Blacksmithing Guide

The Max skill on professions in Legion is 800.

You will not get your all your recipes from trainer directly. Instead you will do a quest chain containing many quests that rewards recipes. Basically your trainer has ideas of how to make stuff and you try them out and if it works, you get a recipe.

Profession quests takes you all over Broken Isles and also requires to do some dungeons as well.

You need a certain level to get more quests from trainer, however, while doing the main legion questline you will bump in to profession specific quests.

There are some lvl requirements needed to obtain a new profession quest. lvl 100 - You start the first legion profession quests.lvl 102 - Follow up on profession questline unlockslvl 104 - Follow up on profession questline unlockslvl 106 - Follow up on profession questline unlockslvl 108 - Follow up on profession questline unlockslvl 110 - Follow up on profession questline unlocks

What are the rank stars in Blacksmithing?

The recipes you have obtained will have a star on it (rank 1). You can have totally 3 stars (rank 3). You get higher rank by finding the rank 2 (2 stars) and rank 3 (3 stars) recipes in the world.

The rank gives a benefit for that certain crafting. I´ve not comfirmed what it is yet. But for enchanting it required less materials to enchant and for alchemy you dont need to make healing pots in Dalaran alchemy station.

How to obtain rank 3 on Demonsteel Recipes

Some rank 3 recipes can be achieved from reputation vendors in The Broken Isles. The Emissaries (reputation vendors) sells them. Se below for more specific details.
